Discussion on stopper issues

• for OpenOffice.org 3.0.1
  • René proposed to change the revision number of Sun Report Builder extension because there were changes for it in OOo 3.0.1. Martin Hollmichel will care about it independent of the 3.0.1 release
  • For the Presenter Console there seems to be a similar issue. Martin will care about it
  • René mentioned some versioning issue with ure
  • Martin asked if we're fine with a 3.0.1 release of OOO300_m15. There were no objections

• for OpenOffice.org 3.1
  • based on the fact that feature freeze date passed and all strings are now within translation process Martin objected that the schedule looks a little bit ambitious with the remaining child workspaces. Martin's proposal is to stay with the current code freeze but to calculate with some more time to the actual release. A new deadline Feb 12th, exceptional CWS approved by release team and a new estimated last CWS integration date on March 5th has been appproved.
  • Martin Damboldt asked about the integration of usage tracking into this release. René asked if this doesn't affect community builds that are done outside of Sun domain. Heiner told René that it's a "BUILD_SPECIAL" item. In this case René is indifferent to this item. No other objections were raised.
  • Martin plans to priorize the current approx. 30 urgent/critical CWS. He will make this transparent within EIS application

Other items

René asked Martin regarding "internal" issues within the 2.4.2 release. Martin told René that corresponding issues have been created in IssueTracker (the "internal" issues are needed for Sun internal housekeeping). René took the following CWSses as example: native204, c07v019. Regarding native204 Martin told him that the CWS fixed one SO issue and for c07v019 several xhtml related fixes were collected into one public issue. Martin asked Marcus Lange if the "internal" issue b6713815 is covered by an IssueTracker issue. Marcus Lange told that this issue was was a fix for a bookmark (labels) issue in writer. He told René to better document such issues in future.

Sophie asked if it would be possible to have l10n test builds before 3.1 translation integration in Pootle, just to check that fixes integrated since 3.0 make it for sure (and close our issues) into 3.1 before we are lost into translation? Martin told her that it is possible and that he'll ask Ivo Hinkelmann about this.

Eric Bachard asked for download numbers for the MacOSX downloads. The only trace available can be taken from Bouncer

Marcus will provide a list of 2.4.2 issues by tomorrow
Another Meeting will start at 14:00 (German time) to discuss the 2.4.2 issues.

• Martin Hollmichel asked to move issue 93731 to 3.0.1 target. This has been accepted.
• issue 94043 will get fixed by exchanging the source tarballs when cppunit module is available from anoncvs
• René mentioned that we need to have a detailed release process for extension releases. Martin Hollmichel doesn't like to code the microreleases information into the code of extensions and IssueTracker doesn't have corresponding version and target fields. It's almost impossible to see what has been fixed within an extension and what has been fixed within the office code. Martin suggested to comment at the extensions working paper
• Mechtilde mentioned a problem with RPM system integration. System integration of two builds are included within one RPM system integration package issue 93564. Linux Packages will get re-packaged.

Timeline for 3.0, 3.0.1, 3.1.0

Volker Merschmann asked if we can hold the timeline for 3.0.1/3.1.0. Martin thinks so.

Discussion on stopper issues

• Martin asked if IHI is still working on issue 92874. He does.
  
• Mechtilde asked about the status of issue 92239 because she got eight crashes. Uwe asked her to read the issue because it was not planned for 3.0. It was accepted as 3.1 fix. Martin will check if a backport is possible. Daniel will backport this issue.
  
• Martin asked about the due date of CWS sysui30 Ruediger mentioned that sysui30 will hopefully be ready today. Then he asked if Sept 5th is OK for native190 and native191. Olaf asked for another date that is valuable to have it approved. Martin insisted on having it approved this week because he wants to have the RC this week. Olaf will contact Ingo to get the CWSses ready for Tuesday to have the first CWS approved on Wednesday and the second CWS approved on Thursday. CWS native190 will get ready for QA by today and probably finished by tomorrow. CWS native191 will probably be approved on Wednesday.
  
• Raphael asked if issue 93248 and issue 93155 are really stoppers ? Martin told him they are fixed in CWS dba30j and he wondered himself as well but the issues are fixed within platform dependend code and the character is quite common for some locales.
  

Timeline for 3.0

• A fixed release date cannot be determined in the moment. Martin hopes that it'll be in September but maybe that's not realistic

Review of 3.0 release blocker issue list

• Martin proposed issue 93051 as blocker issue. There's a deadlock at office startup if documents are migrated from an older office version
• Frank Schoenheit proposed issue 93053 as blocker issue. Martin accepted this issue.
• Frank Schoenheit proposed issue 93017 as blocker issue. (fixes date/time stamps in Sun Report Builder). Issue has been accepted as stopper.
• Frank Schoenheit proposed issue 93014 as blocker issue. Issue has been accepted as stopper.
• Maximilian Odendahl proposed issue 93092 as blocker issue. Issue has not yet been accepted. Martin will collect some data about estimation efforts and risk assessment
• Mechtilde raised issue 86389 as blocker issue (Incompatibilities with libstdc++.so.6 on Mandriva and Fedora). The outcome was to fix that issue for 3.0.1

• Discussion about oooxml filetype registration.

Martins proposal was:

• • Accept the apology from the iTeam.
  • Have a much more closer look to "tasks" at nomination time.
  • Write an announcement no to use issue type tasks for office code changes
  • Go with the current implemented version (plus bug fixes) into 3.0 release.
  • There should be documentation

Review of 3.0 release blocker issue list

• discussed issue 89121
  • kai_a is currently fixing the filter and reportdesign modules for separation of all extensions from the Office code
  • Somebody responsible for the source tarballs will provide an extensions tarball containing all of the extensions
  • reportdesigner extension currently has a mixed C++/Java module. This needs to be separated by Kai Ahrens.
• discussed issue 92147
  • Mechtilde would like to have dictionaries included within language packs
  • Martin Hollmichel proposed to provide all bundled dictionaries also in the extensions repository. Martin will discuss this topic with Mechtilde.
• discussion about changed strings (bound to translation timeline)
  • new strings seem to be integrated when the "Legacy Filter" module has been created
  • a big chunk in m26 was description of the binfilter registry items...so the document registry descriptions are maybe also caused by the move/changed ID
  • in m24 the Classic Icon theme was added (iconupdate300u1 by kai_a )
  • two more strings remain: Remove all older product versions in instsetoo_native (m26)
  • Martin Hollmichel stated: we need a tool in the future to detect any string changes in advance and have that integrated in EIS to be able to check for new strings before nominating a CWS
  • cwslocalize needs ~ 30 minutes for a run; Martin asked Joerg Jahnke to add a button to EIS. Joerg does not prefer this solution because of a big overhead
  • Pavel suggested to add that functionality to tinderbox
  • Pavel suggested a new, complete l10n merge round on Monday, August 4th
  • Joerg Jahnke stated: for such a round Rafaella estimated that the translations would be ready on August 7th and AFAIK has announced this as the new deadline...
  • The outcome is: That would leave about one week from July 30th/31st until August 7th for the translation. Every change in Pootle done until that deadline can be reflected in the new l10n CWS. Pootle will be updated end of this week (so was the plan)
  • Sophie Gautier mentioned: translators should be informed that all the corrections they have made on localisation29 won't be present in m28
  • Martin stated: we will then have a chance for a full localized rc around August 20th ?
    • we will

• OpenOffice.org 3 Windows 98/ME support: We will not continue the support of Windows98/ME with the current available resources. volunteers are invited to contribute any code to the project and offer support for that platform.
• Lost data while switching between sheets: Has not been confirmed yet, Mechtilde can't confirm on Linux, Pavel to ask on ooo_macport list for confirmation
• Command + Space should not be registered as a application ...: to be confirmed
• OOo 3.0 beta install causes BSOD: need more information

OOo 3.0 status

3.0 Beta blocker issues have been discussed
There are more than 1000 open issue 7 weeks before code freeze. Martin Hollmichel stated that we will not able to fix all of them in time for 3.0. He proposed to retarget P3-P5 issues with no keyword set to 3.x to be able to concentrate on the important bugs. Pavel suggested to call first for fixing all the bugs asap and think about retargeting in a second step. Martin to send out call to developers and QA to fix 3.0 issues.

Juergen Schmidt asked for an exception to have the new Extension Manager UI integrated
"Beta Refresh" is planned for end of June. The release status meeting agreed to integrate this into 3.0 since the extensions became quite popular. word count is about a few hundred words, given the approval of Rafaella we are going to integrate into 3.0

The branch for OOo 3.0 Beta 2 will be called OOO300 since it will be continued until OOo 3.0 Final release. The development codeline for OOo 3.1 will then be open with begin of June. RE raised their concerns about branching too early, this only works well if main part of work will really be done for 3.1 codeline, this seems unlikely to happen. Martin points out that reducing of bug count is indeed quite important to make this work.
